Chapter 2

Karlie got back to her apartment around 6:30AM. She tried to make as little noise as possible, in case Cara was still sleeping. If the girl was even there, at least she knows she’ll be alone. Cara knows to respect her boundaries and knows not to bring random one-night stands back to Karlie’s apartment – she’d go to their house so she could leave before they wake up.

“Save the walk of shame, you whore.” Cara joked as she sprung up from her laying position on the couch.

“Holy shit!” Karlie exclaimed, clearly startled, “Why are you awake?”

“I came home like 15 minutes before you did.”

“Ugh, you dirty slut. Who was the unfortunate girl?”

“Honestly, I don’t remember her name…” Cara said after her quick minute of contemplation.

“Wow, you are horrible.” Karlie said whilst laughing.

“Enough of me, your person was actually relevant. Spill the beans, Karls!”

“Definitely better than I thought.” Karlie said with a cheeky smile.

“How many rounds?”

“Lost count.”

“Ooh, yes, Karls!” Cara bellowed.

“Was she awake when you left?”

“Falling asleep, but she gets the deal. I told her we should do it again sometimes though, for the fun of it.”

“Oh wow, more than once? That’s rare for you.”

“She’s…cute.” Karlie admits, almost shyly.

“Plus, who doesn’t want great sex again and just great sex?” She added.

Cara nodded, “Did you buy breakfast? I’m starving.”

“Oh yeah! I bought some Greek yogurt and whole wheat toast.”

Cara glared at her hard on, “Do you have real breakfast food like bacon?”

Now it was Karlie’s turn to glare at Cara with that, ‘are you fucking serious look?’ on her face.

Cara laughed, “Kidding, babe.”

“I can make you whole wheat dark chocolate chip pancakes…”

“I’ll take it.” Cara said as the two made their way to the kitchen where they just talked about trivial things.

***

A few days have passed and now it was time for Cara to go back to London. Cara bid Karlie goodbye as she left at 8:30 AM to make her way to the airport. 

“I’ll miss you so much, babe.” Cara said as she pulled Karlie in for a bone-crushing hug.

“I’ll miss you too, love. Have a safe flight and text me when you land.”

Cara broke the hug and the two exchanged pecks on the cheek before Cara said, “Keep me updated on that Swiftie situation you got going on,” followed by a wink and then got into the cab.

Karlie chuckled at Cara’s antics before making her way to her favorite café, less than three miles away from her home. She decided to jog there to get a bit of a workout in before she left to really start her day.  Of course, being a well-known model, she tried to cover herself up with a beanie, with the hood of her Nike jacket over it, and sunglasses. Since it was December, that attire didn’t come off as a suspicion.

When Karlie got there, she ordered her usual almond milk cappuccino. When she was about to take a seat at her usual table in the back corner, she noticed a blonde with her sunglasses still on already occupying it.

Karlie decided to sit elsewhere when she noticed the blonde looking awfully familiar. As she kept blatantly staring at the blonde, the latter looked up feeling eyes on her and that’s when Karlie realized, it was none other than Taylor Swift.

Karlie decided to make her towards the other blonde.

“How lucky am I to run into such a beautiful girl once again in all of the places she could’ve been in New York?” Karlie started as she walked up to the blonde and removed her sunglasses.

Taylor gasped not fully registering what Karlie had just said, “Hey, hi, Karlie! Take a seat.” Karlie took the offer, taking a seat opposite of Taylor.

“What are you doing here?” Karlie asked nonchalantly, as if they did not even have sex all night just a few nights ago.

Taylor decided to just go with it, deeming it better than awkward stares. “I heard about this little local café making a mean skinny caramel latte so I had to give it a try. You?”

“It’s actually my favorite café. I live like seven minutes away from here. I’m more of a cappuccino person. Do you like cappuccinos?”

Taylor nodded, “I love coffee so I’m open to all types.”

“Want a sip?” Karlie asked, offering her own drink.

“I’d love to,” Taylor said with a smile adorning her face as she took a sip of Karlie’s drink.

“Mm, it’s good.” Taylor complimented when she noticed the stain of her red lipstick on the mouth of Karlie’s drink, “I am so sorr –“

Karlie chuckled, “Don’t worry about it. I don’t mind. It’s a beautiful color on you, by the way.”

Taylor couldn’t help but to smile at the small compliment. Karlie was such a sweet talker.

“So, how long are you staying in New York?” Karlie asked.

“Honestly, I’m not sure yet. I’m kind of just hanging out until I get bored I guess.”

“Or… Have you gotten your eye on someone and aren’t ready to leave yet?” Karlie teased.

“A bit,” Taylor said with a small smirk, “She seems fun. I wouldn’t mind getting to know her more.”

“I’m sure she feels the same way.” Karlie said spotting s smirk similar to Taylor’s.

“So tell me, what is it about this girl that made her lucky enough to catch Taylor Swift’s eye?”

“She’s crazy tall, but very fit. Her stamina pleasantly surprised me.”

Karlie couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

“Her lips are kind of thin, but they’re still super kissable. I kind of miss them.” Taylor continued.

“Say, do you have any plans for the rest of day?” Karlie asked.

“Not really, I’m just wandering for the day.”

“Awesome, because I’m 100% sure said girl wants to invite you back to her apartment.” Karlie said with a sultry look on her face.

“Hmm… I don’t know. I’m pretty tired.”

Karlie’s face dropped, confused, earning a laugh from Taylor.

“I was totally kidding. You are so cute.”

Karlie let out a soft chuckle, “You’re a twisted one.”

The two stood up and Taylor scanned the empty café noting that all the employees were in the back.

She leaned in to capture Karlie’s bottom lip between her owns, grazing her teeth over it as she release excruciatingly slow, “Lead the way, Kloss.”
